Did the Heatles underachieve?

[rmt]

How many athletes have said things about themselves or teams, with conviction in a serious setting and you still here holding on to a ticket holder only pep rally speech. This trope wore out like a decade ago man. And 2 rings and 4 finals appearances in 4 years is something only Goldenstate has been able to match/surpass. Since the start of this century when the Lakers 3 peated. Aka doesn't happen very often at all

IMO, 2 Finals appearance (especially in the East) <> 1 ring. Spurs got 3 rings in 5 years from the brutal West. 2011 was one of the biggest chokes and 2014 the biggest rout in Finals history.

Team LeBron is the only team to beat Tim homosexual Duncan in the NBA finals

No doubt the Spurs did well, I guess just outside that window I named arbitrarily because the heatles were the subject. I think there were a couple of tough teams in the east but it definitely wasn't as tough as the west, but you can only play who's in front of you. 4 straight finals and 2 rings back to back is tough to call disappointing. It's not an easily replicated task at all.

They won a lock out ring and barely beat the Spurs. Got demolished a year later.

2 rings is alright but Bron coming out saying not 1 not 2 not 6 not 7 and end up disappearing when push came to shovel in '11 is top 5 goat sports moment Ive witnessed.

It's a major underachievement compared to the GOAT standard of what Jordan would've done, but for most players it wouldn't be an underachievement... Only for guys like Bird, Jordan, Kobe or Duncan, who obviously would've 3-peated or 4-peated and then stayed with the franchise.. so that's a massive gap compared to what lebron did

btw, in 2014, Duncan had all the age excuses to lose that Lebron had this year and last year and the year before
